COMMON CARRIERS,
A Cur iGus Decision Concerning Their Re
spOnsibility to the Public.

A Cur iGus Decision Concerning Their Re.
sponsibility to the Public.
A common carrier of passengers,
with their baggage, assumes as to the
passengers two distinct species of re-
sponsibility: one as to their persons
and another as to their baggage. Be.
fore the Introduction Of railroads, when
passengers by land travelled almost ex.
clusively by stage-coach, the Supreme
Court OF Massachusetts laid down Il
generally accepted rule: ''That car
riers of passengers for hire are bound
to use The utmost care and diligence
in the providing of safe, sufficient and
suitable coaches. harnesses, horses and
coacllmen, in order 10 prevent those
injuries which human care and fore
sight can guard against" Since rail-
roads have come TO be the principal
means Of land travel in Europe and
America, and at a rate Of speed never
dreamed of when slagc-coaches were
so universally in vogue the courts both
in England and the United States have
given the general rule Il broader and
more stringent application. Some
years ago an accident happened to a
train through the breaking of an axle,
and q number of passengers were in
iurcd. Suit was brought against the
railroad company Tor damages. The
company showed hal the car had
been built for them by skiIlful car
builders, and while in the process of
building it was carefully examined by
an agent Of tie company both viii,
respect to materials and workmanship,
and again when it WIS completed was
carefully inspected in every part;cu-
lar: II had been in use with safety
sixteen months before the accident.
The car-builder had obtained the axle
from an approved and skillful manu-
f%acturcr and that the defect in it as
was shown could not have been
detected by the most careful .cy.
animation nor by striking it with u
hammer. The plaintlii showed that
the fault in the axle could have been
detected while it was being made by u
process of bending, and that the COM.
pany did not so test it. The opinion
of the court was that the railroad COM
pany was responsible Tor all defects
which might at any time during Iii.
process Of manufacture have been dis
covered in any manner, and then
remcdicd, and to the same extent as if
the company had manufactured the
axle in its w shop and by its own
work men, and if there was any test
known which at any time might have
been employed to discover concealed
defects in the axle. the company was
guilty of negligence for not making
such test. ,~-S etdeB T. HOPKINS, IN Vide

rulings of Judd C. J, at the January
Germ, when the Psjsoae-s were prnsee,.tss Tn :
on an indictment for larceny OF Z. ~.

The defendants were found guilty by a
Jury and sentenced-McGifin. to three
years and McChesney to six months i'm
prisonment.
The defendants excepted to the verdict
on the ground that it was contrary to the
law and the evidence in that there was no
evidence to warrant the verdict, and that
if did not comply with the law of the case
nor with the Judges.
The case was argued at some length, and
it was strenuously cOntended on behalf of

THE AUSTRALIA.
A Large Number of People Witness
Her Departure.

The Oceanic Company's steamship
Australia, Captain H. c. HoudIette,
sailed for San Francisco yesterday.
There was a large crowd of spectators on
the wharf to witness her departure,
which took place punctually at noon.
The deck OF the steamer presented a
very pretty scene, as the majority of the
passengers were covered with leis and
several carried bouquets of flowers in
their hands. Among the passengers
were a number of the Masonic excursion
party. They had all been presented
with beautiful leis by Manager Bartlett
of the Hawaiian Hotel. They expressed
regret at having to return home so soon,
but hoped in the near future to pay
another visit to the Islands. Such hos
pitality as had been extended to them
they were loath to leave. The Rev. J.
A. and Mrs. Cruzan were among the de-
parting passengers and a large delega-
ton of their friends boarded the steamer
to say goodbye and wish them a pleas
ant voyage. The Royal Hawaiian band
was stationed on the wharf and dis
coursed a number of lively selections,
concluding with the "Star Spangled
Banner" and Hawaii Ponoi"
The Australians cargo of domestic
produce was valued at 1854, 586 o. The
